“The cost of animal feed right now is is skyrocketing,” says Glenn Grant, executive director and general manager of the B.C. Wildlife Par

Glenn Grant, executive director and general manager of the B.C. Wildlife Park said the price the park pays for hay has more than doubled in the last few years.According to Grant, it costs the park approximately ten thousand dollars a month to feed its animals — a task that until recently cost $9,000.

“The price of fuel for the farmers in general has gone up so much that it's caused the price of everything to go up,” Lessard said. “I don't think it'll go down. It's once fuel was sold at $2 a litre, I can't see it dropping back down to $1.25. I think that's going to stay there and that's going to be our new reality,” Lessard said.

“It's hard to gauge and it's hard to understand where it's gonna level off. But inflation is catching everybody, us included,” Grant said.
